Ben thinking about dropping my directTV anyway. This just cements my decision.
I got rid of them several years ago. Saved a lot of money and haven't missed anything. If you have a smart tv and/or a Roku device, you can get more channels and less garbage channels than you ever got on Directv and not pay a penny. If you do pay for any, they're just a few bucks a month and you're not paying for useless channels you never watch.
With streaming, there's really no reason to pay for Directv or cable.
I already did what you suggest. Couldnt be happier....and more $$$ in my pocket.
Amazing to me that I was spending that much money for a handful of lame channels. We get so much more at no cost and don't have to worry about losing reception every time it rains or snows. Same with Netflix. I canceled them when they hired the Obamas. No loss whatsoever. Actually, I wouldn't watch a new movie now for any reason. Hollywood is an abomination.
At&T isn't in the business of making money. Otherwise they would have dropped CNN
It's literally the only news channel I watch.
AT&T owns CNN. Surprised?
No it's just annoying I'm going to have to go to Plan B.
As a long time fan of OAN, smol honk frog is glad there will be another way to watch once it leaves DirecTV. DTV is way too expensive anyway, and I have a Roku so KlowdTV is available. Buh-bye DTV!
But there is one thing that will be missing: the ability to record any show on any channel and watch it later (time shifting). I don't know any way to do that with a Roku, other than separately-subscribed channel-specific "cloud DVR" functions which often do not work very well.
Is there any time-shifting option with Roku that works on all channels? I've got plenty of plug-in SSD, so space is no problem, but Roku is a dedicated device, so there's no way to get Roku shows onto the SSD so I can save it off for later.
I'm hoping that there is some simple answer that green froggie is just not seeing... Any advice will be greatly appreciated!
Honk you very much in advance!
Well... an update from the honkie froggie! Looks like KlowdTV has a dedicated box of their own, with a 14-day cloud-based buffer of shows that can be re-watched. As long as you don't want to save your shows for longer than that, time-shifting looks possible with any channel available on KlowdTV.
I still have to research more into this. By going with a dedicated KlowdTV box, you sidestep the Roku entirely. Might add a further update later, but this is encouraging.
